Catch the rainbow: Prognostic factor of sarcoidosis
Senol KobakLung India 2020 37(5):425-432
Sarcoidosis is a systemic, chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granuloma formations. The fact that the etiopathogenesis of the disease has not been elucidated yet brings it many theories and assumptions. Being a systemic disease and ability to involve many organs and systems, it attracts the attention of physicians from different branches. In addition to lung involvement, skin, eye, heart, and locomotor system involvement is an important clinical finding. Sarcoidosis may present with very different clinical presentations, and therefore, it is one of the impo...

Transthoracic ultrasonography in patients with interstitial lung disease
Conclusion: TUS seems to be a useful imaging method for the diagnosis of ILD. It can be used to estimate the severity of ILD. It is simple, bedside, cost-effective, and radiation-free. It may be especially useful in the follow up of patients in low resource settings, pregnant females, and bed-ridden or unstable patients who cannot be shifted to radiology suite. (Source: Lung India)

Comparison of fractional exhaled nitric oxide, spirometry, and Asthma Control Test, in predicting asthma exacerbations: A prospective cohort study
Conclusions: In our study, FEV1% and ACT score could predict exacerbations of asthma whereas FeNO could not. FeNO level correlated inversely with ACT score. FeNO level decreased with inhaled corticosteroid usage. (Source: Lung India)
